Portable Desert
What the Hill !
Now that the hills have been made, it’s time to make it all look more desert-like!
To do this, I started by applying a kind of homemade undercoat made from a mixture of PVA glue, sand, and paint, which I applied to all surfaces, avoiding the cliffs as much as possible.
Once everything was completely dry, I tackled the cliffs. I used the leopard painting technique, which is often used in model making. This technique involves applying several layers of very diluted, fairly bright colors, then covering them with a more uniform layer. I find the result very satisfying, quite realistic with a lot of contrast and variation.
This is where I got to have a little fun with the modularity of my tiles! 😀
My only regret is this tile with two hills. The idea seemed good at first—having the choice between a piece of hill with a ramp and a piece of hill that is inaccessible—but in the end, it limits the overall modularity between the tiles and reduces the space available for vehicles to pass through
